I bought the NC about a week ago, it came as version 1.2 and I used manual rooter 4.5.6 to root it. I installed a few apps including all of the ClearView RC heli sims (Three in all) and all worked fine. I couldn't get any angry birds to work, after I DLed and tried to install them it just said app not installed. I understand this is due to a SMS problem the nook is missing..
So I decided to buy Angry Birds HD from the nook market, I did this on my computer with the wrong account and had to deregister then register and re-root my nook color exactly how I did before. However, this time the three ClearView apps would not install.
I got the Angry Birds HD installed and a few other nonmarket apps and everything works the same, minus those three apps. I have no idea why I cant install them, they worked before, why not now? Any ideas? I download the apk file, use app installer, click install then it says app not installed. Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know if ungrading the the newest manual nooter will help? Also, in the nooter there is an app folder with ten or fifteen apk files. If I add a few more apk files will they install?
EDIT: The newer manual nooter worked like a charm and I now have full Android Market! One last question if anyone is reading my post, my nook color wont like me view full sites if they have a mobile version. Is this a setting?

Whenever I try to sign in to the Epocrates app, I just get a notification that my login/password is incorrect. I've double-checked my info and know I'm using the right credentials, and I have the app running fine on my Evo.
Has anybody else had any luck with Epocrates on their rooted NookColor?
Just checked mine -- it doesn't work on the NC either. Works fine still on my Evo.
It didn't work for me either, until I switched to Nookie Froyo, now works perfect.
Bummer, but at least it's not just me I guess. I think I'll wait for a slightly more developed version of Nookie Froyo before trying it, but it's good to know it can work!

If you have another android phone I have a solution for you (worked for me with my rooted droid (cyanogen) + rooted NC (autonooter).
Install epocrates on another phone (not NC).
Back up the install with titanium backup.
Copy the backup to NC.
Apply the backup to NC.
When you run epocrates it should start downloading the clinical content.
Check to see if epocrates recognizes the clinical content. I had to uninstall / reinstall epocrates and follow the above directions a second time to get it to work.

Above does not work - tried to install the .apk from Samsung epic and no go. Need froyo (won't work on rooted Eclair nook)
Been running the full Epocrates on my NC with both Froyo and CM7 on eMMC without issue. Updates just fine. Had to reinstall credentials when I wiped to install CM7 V6 (from TI - app+data) but has been flawless since! Dead useful in daily practice. Love it. Along with MedPage.
Just use Medscape (WebMD) or Skyscape
So i've used autonooter to root my 1.1 version nook color. Everything seems like it's working just fine.
I read a post on here about installing the high definition version of the youtube app. While trying to do that, i realize that the youtube.apk is nowhere to be found on my nook (i used the search function of root explorer to check.) titanium backup doesn't see it as an item that I can uninstall, and this issue seems to be stopping me from using the newer version.
Anyone have any ideas?
Also, if i re-do the autonooter, will it fix this so that i can uninstall the youtube app that comes with that and install the new one?
I think there are some legal issues distributing signed apps in these Roms, so the developers typically tend to not do it. You can get signed youtube APKS from other places though, and install those.
You can remove the Youtube.apk to remove it from the system, however. You'll just need to mount the system partition as rw and remove that apk.

I couldn't find it in /system/apps for some reason. I removed it by going to nook color tools, then applications.
Got everything working now. Thanks!
I restored to stock and update my nook color to 1.2.0. YAY flash works! This will properly root using nooter 0.2 This of course only enables adb so if you have to manually install all the programs you want. One downside if you like the stock launcher(user interface) is the installed programs do not show in the new 'apps' menu. Also, make sure you install nook color tools from the auto-nooter. Debuging does not stay on after you reboot and the program will enable you to do so. Also, you will need another launcher such as ADW to access your programs.
I have a rooted Nook Color with stock 1.1 Rom and clockworkmod recovery installed.
Will the new update be pushed to me automatically, or do I have to manually install it.
If I have to do it manually do I do it per the instructions on B&N website or some other way using clockworkmod recover?
I believe you have to do it manually. I read that you can do it with CWR. The person who did it said it froze or something on the first boot but a reboot fixed it. Search '[ROM 1.2] nook color' on xda for instructions thread.
I was wondering, once auto-rooters are released, will you still be able to use the apps you got from B&N? There are one or two I'd buy, but want to make sure I can still root and use them. Thanks!

i'd assume they'd be tied into your b&n account - similar to your books - you can redownload any of your books that you purchased previously.
edit: btw, thanks OP for the heads up on nooter 0.2 - i'm back to where i was at with autonooter and root with 1.1 (minus gapps, which i haven't played with yet)... a lot more tedious doing things manually. running adw launcher pro as my launcher.
good job thx！！
cannot feel more wonderful.

Although the apps from the nook market seem to be modified to be recognized by the nook interface, I still have the library and shop apps in my zeam menu. I don't think there will be a problem using and apps from the nook market on any rooted nook.
@everyone
Amazon market works, but I had to install the angry birds apk using adb. I read there are problems installing apk's bigger than 4M. I suspect this may have something do to with that issue.
I don't have market working yet but it looks like someone did it with a specific market version and nookie-froyo-gapps. It also looks like auto-nooter will be out soon. I will be doing manual because I'm very anal about not having unnecessary software on my devices.
Edit: Market is working if but it appears large programs still do not install. Here is a guide:
download nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207.zip (use google) & unzip
download Vending.apk & Talk.apk from this post http:// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051235&page=11
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblock0p5 /system
adb push nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app
adb push nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207/system/etc/permissions/features.xml /system/etc/permissions
adb push Vending.apk /system/app
adb push Talk.apk /system/app
has the autonooter fpor 1.2 been released yet?
For now it's ManualNooter uses CWM.
Has some issues.

Thanks GabrialDestruir! The trouble shooting list for showing how to get all of the Andriod market apps worked like a charm..however..cant get ANYTHING to download. Keeps saying download was unsuccessful. Im runnng the newest CWM with ManualNooter 3.0.2.8. Everything is working great now except for the downloading of market apps. Hope this was the right way to request any help. Im df a newbie at the posting game.Thanks
i have this weird problem:
first, i'm running CM7 from a verygreen's SD card
it was running fine but i had some force closes so i resintalled from the begining (reflashed verygreens image), then installed CM7.0.2, installed gapps, and when the market was downloading all of my apps, my system crashed down, and had to reboot.
After that, i havent been able to see my free apps in the "My Apps" tab of the market, i can see my paid apps.
tried to reflash again verygreens image to delete everything, upgraded to n59, still, only see my paid apps. tried restore them with titanium, and they restore, but the "Attach to market" option does not work for me
when i log to the web market, it shows that all my apps (free and paid) as if they were already installed
has anyone else seen this behaviour? any idea?
thanks

Not really, but you might try this... Install and run Appbrain, sync up with it, etc.. then go into the Market app.
When I was messing with ROMs a while back with apps already on my SD ext partition they'd show up to run but not in the Market, but running Appbrain always "attached" them for me. Did it several times.
Using CM7, I was experiencing the same issue, but any new app I downloaded, free or paid, would then show up in the market. I wasn't too concerned, as I only had 5 free apps from the market. Amazon Market, which is where most of my apps are, showed all without an issue.

thanks a lot, this attached all my restored apps (with TitatiumB) to the market again.
missing apps still fail to be re-downloaded, but not a problem since i have a full backup of my apps, just have to restore them and reattach with appbrain

I still have no idea why it works, but glad it does
In the ongoing battle to not have the market crash on launch (rooted stock 1.3 running 4.6.16 and I fixed permissions with ROM manager) I've noticed that titanium backup seems to be a start for a few potential fixes. That said - I have to actually install the bloody thing and w/out market access that's proving tough.
I d'loaded the apk via. the built-in browser. It's on my SD card. But I can't seem to find any way for the built-in app-laucher to....well, launch. When I run the apk's from the browser I get 2 options:
Complete action (running apk) using:
* App Installer (which when clicked says it's unable to install and that I should archive then unarchive the app and try again)
* Package installer (which says there's a prob. parsing the package).
I've got what I assume to be non-market app's checked off in NC Tools (it's the blank box in NC Tools with nothing next to it that people talk about).
Any suggestions to get the bloody apk working?
Sounds like a badly packaged .apk. It also has that error whenever I try to install Honeycomb specific apps.

Did you enable non-market installs?
Do as Dizzy said or find another apk to install, if it keep crashing then try install some another ROM like CM7.

In the NC tools I do have what is supposed to be the non-market installs checked off (but with it being a blank box of text next to it, I'm not positive).
I guess it might be a bad apk, but I got it from the TB site directly. I tried ES File Explorer too. It would seem all apk's I'ev tried give the same error. I'm not sure if maybe B&N somehow hobbled the ability to install apk's with their 1.3 update.

I had CM7 on for a few days, but with the market not working well on it (market determined that the nook wasn't compatible with any of the apps, even with the LCD resize), and with a subscription to PC mag via. B&N I went back to stock rooted 1.3.
Any other suggestions? I was thinknig of trying MIUI if things in CM7 or the Nootered stock don't resolve themselves.

MIUI is just a themed outdated cm7. I don't see how that would help.
Can you get any .apks to install?

I just finished the Android SDK/Java route to push apk's to the NC. I've successfully installed Titanium, ES File explorer, Opera Mobile and SwiFTP to my NC via the SDK route. While I don't have market access, I guess it will be ok for now....I sure wish the Market worked properly though....nice 'n convenient. Ah well.
[EDIT] One thing I did try to get the market to work was uninstall Flash 10.3. I put on 10.2 & reset permissions. No dice for what it's worth....if somebody's keeping a list of things that don't work.

Interestingly, if I try to use the default browser to install appbrain (www.appbrain.com/install), or even Opera mobile to install it, .... it results in a flash screen (rotating flash dots in the middle) that crashes after a second....just like when I (attempt to) launch the Market.
